After hearing Morgan’s story of choosing to donate and redistribute 100% of her inherited family wealth, I knew I wanted to speak with her. In this conversation we discuss what it’s like to face the shadows of our ancestral lineages, ask deeper questions of what our family’s part was in injustices in our country and how we can use that knowledge to atone and repair.

Morgan is one of thousands of young people feeling called to redistribute inherited wealth back into the hands of indigenous and black people and organizations across the country… Her story calls us to consider that maybe true happiness is really found when we focus on others’ happiness rather than just our own…

In this episode we discuss:

  • Morgan’s privileged upbringing and calling to activism early in life

  • The inner journey navigating shame, guilt, and anger after learning about some of her ancestor’s involvement in slavery, moving indigenous people off their land, and fossil fuel investments - the very=

  • The story of how Morgan began redistributing 100% of her inherited wealth and 50% of her earned income

  • How to navigate resistance that may come up when redistributing funds

  • How to begin the journey of looking into your own ancestral past

  • The fears Morgan faced around being public with this work

  • What Morgan has learned about true happiness

  • A letter to her descendants and vision for a healed world

Stay in Touch with Morgan:

Have money to give this season? Here are some of Morgan’s suggestions on where to begin:

  • Ekvn Yefolecv an intentional Indigenous ecovillage community returning to their ancestral homelands in what’s known as Alabama, to reclaim and revive language, ecology, cosmology and tradition.

  • Canticle Farm an urban farm, educational center, and intentional community, located in East Oakland, CA on Lisjan Ohlone territory. In particular, the Sister Water House of Restorative Justice at Canticle Farm is home to formerly-incarcerated Black elders and movement leaders.

  • #Case4Reparations Fund at Liberated Capital is an example of how to cede decision making power by funding the movement for reparations through campaigns and organizations chosen by a group of Black and Indigenous leaders.

Guided by the call to transmute the legacy of her colonizer and enslaver ancestors, Morgan is dedicated to working with her fellow people with wealth and class privilege towards redistribution, atonement, and repair of ancestral harms. As a facilitator, money coach, organizer and ritualist, she works to catalyze the healing of relationships with self, family, ancestors, community, and the land, enabling the surrender of power and control so that resources can flow towards racial, environmental, and economic justice. She is in the process of redistributing 100% of her inherited wealth and 50% of her income to primarily Black- and Indigenous-led organizing and land projects. Morgan is a resident of Canticle Farm, a multi-racial, inter-faith, cross-class, intergenerational intentional community in Lisjan Ohlone territory (Oakland, CA). She is currently a Masters of Divinity student at Harvard Divinity School, focused on racial justice and healing. You can learn more at her website: morganhcurtis.com.

The timing of this conversation couldn’t have been more perfect. After living eight months on the island of Kauai and deepening my connection to the Earth and plant spirit world, I had the opportunity to sit down with writer, teacher, and earth intuitive, Asia Suler. I had just had my first dream of the island after returning to the mainland, where I greeted the ocean and it greeted me back with a big splash on my hand. I could truly feel the sentience of the plants and the land in the dream that I had been in such close relationship with.

Have you ever experienced anything like this? Feeling the aliveness of everything around you? Communicating with the unseen realms?

In this episode Asia shares her own journey of communication with the Earth and spirits of the plants. She shares about their message of self-compassion and how they work through us on behalf of our evolvement and healing.

In this episode we discussed:

  • What is earth intuition?

  • Asia’s journey of healing chronic pain through the Earth’s wisdom

  • Intuitive plant medicine

  • Mugwort and Rose medicine

  • Finding self-compassion and the true meaning of self-love

  • How to navigate being an empath and the world opening back up after shelter-in-place

  • Asia’s journey of intuitive entrepreneurship and the permission she gave herself in her writing that changed everything & opened her to her people

  • Writing a book!

  • The fears she has overcome to be where she is today

So create a nourishing space for yourself to lie down, balance the chakras, cleanse the aura, call your energy back and form a field of protection.

Crystal tones alchemy bowls lay the backdrop for this time to relax, let go and unwind. Release stress from every day and find presence with each breath.

There's an intense amount of pressure we can put on ourselves to achieve, to do, and be productive. How can we know when it's ok to rest?

Even in spiritual communities, it's so easy to get stuck in the cycle of constant productivity, as if our self-worth was dependent on it. How do we break the cycle?

In this episode Meredith Rom shares a channeled message from source to remind you that you're not here to be a machine. You're a human with feelings and depth. Take ten minutes to let go into the abyss and remember who you came here to be.

It was an honor to sit down with Jane Mayer, a true voice and channel for the heart of the Holy One. In this conversation, Jane shares about her journey through the hallways of darkness to find her way back to the light of presence and union.

Years ago she found herself unhappily married, struggling with an autoimmune disease and just coming off a failed round of in-vitro fertilization. She was crying, raging, and in deep, deep grief and paralysis. Her soul was screaming at her: it wanted her to change everything. But in the face of such a request, is it any wonder she didn’t want to listen?

Is it any wonder so many of us don’t want to listen?

Jane now offers multidimensional guidance and song for those who long to remember their True Selves. This conversation leads us from darkness to light, with insights from indigenous wisdom, and how listening may just be the deepest medicine we need now in the western world. We also discuss what it means to truly trust on a spiritual path and how to make sense of all the big changes humanity is now facing (COVID, Climate change for example).

Be sure to stay all the way to the end to receive the codes Jane channels through song, in service to our pathway Home.

In this episode we discussed:

  • Jane’s spiritual path and journey of awakening from Birmingham, Alabama to the mountains of Peru

  • How Jane found her voice

  • What it means to listen, what takes us away from it, and how to take small steps to start tuning in to your own inner voice

  • Christ codes of Sarah, Magdalene and Yeshua 

  • Healing on behalf of our ancestors

  • Does healing ever end? How do we know when we have arrived? Where are we headed as a collective?

  • Shifts in consciousness, death rites, and finding the courage within to surrender and welcome change

“On personal and societal levels, our ability to thrive hinges on whether or not we commit to deeply listening. I fully believe that this is the frontier of our generation.

Indigenous people around the world are masterful at these practices—and as a result, they live harmoniously with nature, avoid many of the modern, nervous-system diseases of the west, and maintain healthy communities. In fact, many indigenous wisdom keepers believe that all mental illness is a result of soul sickness—of disconnection from our inner voices.” ~ Jane Mayer

Finding intimacy with others begins with becoming intimate and honest with ourselves. In this episode with Kendra Cunov, we discuss the difficult habitual patterns we can get into as women seeking comfort and validation from our relationships.

After years of dating men who were not fully available to commit to partnership, Kendra decided to take a break from dating and men altogether. She knew this was what she needed to get to the bottom of what was having her stay in deeply unfulfilling dynamics. She made a commitment to get in right relationship with The Masculine, to figure out what she really wanted in a relationship, and to liberate her own desire to love and be loved.

Since then, she has worked with thousands of men, women & couples in the areas of embodiment, intimacy, and true self-expression. She also leads a program for women to embark upon a similar journey she went on, called The No-Man Diet.

In this conversation we also discuss the energetics behind our actions, and be sure to listen to the end because I love her response when asked, “What advice do you have for a woman feeling dissatisfied with her life right now?”

We hope you enjoy the show.

In this episode we discussed:

  • Relating to self and the world and how Kendra was drawn to the world of truth-telling and relationships

  • Kendra’s program, “The No Man Diet” and how she’s been helping women release addictive and unhealthy patterns in relationship to men

  • Cultivating intuition and giving ourselves permission to listen to it

  • The energetics behind our actions and why we sometimes say something that is received differently than we expected

  • The journey of finding self worth and learning to value yourself

  • Courage and how to live from a place of authentic self-expression

  • Getting really honest with where you are at and the powerful words of wisdom Kendra has for women feeling dissatisfied in their lives
